- Superficial anterior cervical nodesNodi cervicales anteriores superficialesSmall superficial lymph nodes in the front of the neck, lying along the anterior jugular vein below the hyoid bone.
- Superficial branch of medial plantar arteryRamus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialisOne of the two terminal branches of the medial plantar artery, supplying the skin and superficial tissues of the medial side of the sole.
- Superficial branch of radial nerveRamus superficialis nervi radialisThe sensory terminal branch of the radial nerve, running under brachioradialis to the back of the wrist, hand and lateral fingers.
- Superficial branch of ulnar nerveRamus superficialis nervi ulnarisThe terminal sensory branch of the ulnar nerve in the palm, supplying palmaris brevis and the skin of the little and ring fingers.
- Superficial epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica superficialisA small branch of the femoral artery that turns up over the inguinal ligament to supply the skin of the lower abdomen.
- Superficial epigastric veinVena epigastrica superficialisA superficial vein of the lower abdominal wall that runs down to the groin to join the great saphenous system.
- Superficial fibular nerveNervus fibularis superficialisA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the fibular muscles and most of the skin on the top of the foot.
- Superficial head of flexor pollicis brevisCaput superficiale flexoris brevis pollicisThis superficial head is the main thenar part of the short thumb flexor, bending the thumb at its knuckle.
- Superficial head of pronator teresCaput superficiale pronatoris teretisThe superficial head of pronator teres is its larger, humeral head, arising just above the inner elbow and turning the palm down.
- Superficial lateral cervical nodesNodi cervicales laterales superficialesSuperficial lymph nodes on the side of the neck, lying along the external jugular vein on the outer surface of sternocleidomastoid.
- Superficial palmar archArcus palmaris superficialisAn arterial loop across the palm just under the palmar aponeurosis, formed mainly by the ulnar artery and feeding the fingers.
- Superficial parotid nodesNodi parotidei superficialesLymph nodes lying on the outer surface of the parotid gland, under its fascia, in front of the ear.
- Superficial part of masseterPars superficialis masseterisThe superficial part of the masseter is the larger outer layer of this chewing muscle, from cheekbone to jaw angle.
- Superficial part of tibial collateral ligamentPars superficialis ligamenti collateralis tibialisThe long, flat outer layer of the medial collateral ligament, running from the femoral epicondyle to the inner surface of the tibia.
- Superficial popliteal nodesNodi poplitei superficialesOne or a few small lymph nodes at the back of the knee, where the small saphenous vein ends in the popliteal vein.
- Superficial temporal arteryArteria temporalis superficialisThe smaller terminal branch of the external carotid artery, climbing in front of the ear to supply the side of the scalp and forehead.
- Superficial temporal veinsVenae temporales superficialesA scalp vein at the side of the head that runs down in front of the ear into the parotid gland.
- Superficial transverse metacarpal ligamentLigamentum metacarpeum transversum superficialeThe superficial transverse metacarpal ligament is a band of crosswise fibres in the distal palm, part of the palmar aponeurosis near the finger bases.
- Superficial transverse metatarsal ligamentLigamentum metatarseum transversum superficialeA band of transverse fibres in the plantar aponeurosis that crosses beneath the metatarsal heads, near the bases of the toes.
- Superficial venous palmar archArcus venosus palmaris superficialisA paired venous arch lying with the superficial palmar arterial arch in the palm, collecting the common palmar digital veins.
- Superior anorectal arteryArteria anorectalis superiorThe continuation of the inferior mesenteric artery into the pelvis, the main artery of the rectum and the upper anal canal.
- Superior cerebellar arteryArteria cerebelli superiorA paired branch from the top of the basilar artery that winds round the midbrain to supply the top of the cerebellum.
- Superior cerebellar pedunclePedunculus cerebellaris superiorA paired band of white matter that joins the cerebellum to the midbrain, carrying most of the cerebellum's output upward.
- Superior colliculusColliculus superiorOne of the paired upper mounds on the midbrain roof, a layered centre that turns eyes and head towards things seen and heard.
